Kill the cholera bacteria

Indeed, bacterial diseases such as cholera causing considerable losses. In addition to mortality, decreased production of chickens can lay eggs that have been going on for a few days to several weeks.

"Death is not posed much., However losses caused cholera is quite significant. When attacking chickens are laying eggs in the period, a decrease in egg production going pretty good for a while," said one practitioner.

If the case has already occurred, "Do not forget to destroy the dead chickens and quarantine the sick chickens and provide treatment," said a farmer.
Bacteria that cause cholera is 'happy' hiding places inaccessible, such as in peripheral limphoglandula in the neck area. Therefore cholera often comes as no due diligence on the eradication of adult laying hens in which case is more common.

Cholera in poultry is caused by the Gram-negative bacteria are capsulated, Pasteurella multocida. Therefore, this disease is also known as Pasteurellosis. Pasteurella multocida causes cholera have 5 serotypes A, B, D, E and F. "While the cause disturbances in chickens typically serotypes A, B and D," says an academic from a veterinary school a prestigious college.

The level of malignancy bacteria varies and is determined by the capsule that encloses the bacteria. When the capsule is damaged malignancies bacteria will decrease even more harmful. Although the bacteria survive for several months in litter or combustible material decays, but is easily killed by sunlight, drying, heating or with disinfectant.

To cope with the illness may be consecutive like this, selected antibiotics used effective work. Animal health experts expressed because it is caused by bacteria, cholera can be treated with special antibiotics that work systemically against Gram-negative bacteria.

However, anjur experts, these antibiotics should also be rotated so as not to cause bacterial resistance to certain antibiotics, because the sensitivity of the bacteria can occur.
Some experts suggest that the use of antibiotics such as amoxycillin especially penicillin group and sulfa to overcome an attack of cholera in chickens, as well as bacterial septicemia or spread throughout the body.

Mixture as flumequin and quinolones can be used to treat cholera in poultry. Tissue damage due to inflammation needs to be rehabilitated by providing supportive therapy (multivitamin) and provide high quality feed with sufficient nutrient content.

Treatment is done by giving antibiotics give different results. This can happen due to P multocida serotype has a lot of that may have different responses to antimicrobial anyway.
To get the best treatment course conducted sensitivity tests.
